How to Get Elk in Grow a Garden

The Elk is a highly sought-after pet introduced in the second part of the Beanstalk Event in Grow a Garden. Known for its farming efficiency, the Elk is an Uncommon pet that provides unique passive abilities that help players collect and preserve crops, especially berries.

The Elk is designed to closely resemble a real-life elk, with graceful antlers and a natural brown coat. Its appearance also shares similarities with deer and spotted deer, making it a charming addition to any garden. The detailed animations make it feel lifelike, especially when it interacts with plants and berries.

The Elk’s primary trait makes it highly valuable for harvesting:

• 2% chance for berry fruits to stay after collection.
• Rarer plants have a lower probability of replanting, but the Elk still slightly improves chances for rare crops.
• Connection to Spotted Deer: Its trait is inspired by the Spotted Deer’s ability to aid in replanting, making it part of a family of “harvesting pets.”

This ability makes the Elk particularly useful for players who want to maximize berry collection without constant replanting.
